Amazon Elastic Beanstalk not serving django static files

Question

I am trying to put up a simple django app on elastic beanstalk. I thought I had the static parts of the app figured out as it works with heroku and on a server that was set up

Answer 1

All previous answers didn't help me This works for me.

Basically I created two steps inside .ebextensions

01_django.config

container_commands:
    01_migrate:
        command: "source /opt/python/current/env && source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && cd /opt/python/current/app && python manage.py migrate --noinput"
        leader_only: true
    02_touch_superuser:
        command: "source /opt/python/current/env && source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate && cd /opt/python/current/app && python manage.py touch_superuser"
        leader_only: true
option_settings:
    aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:
        WSGIPath: config/wsgi.py
        NumProcesses: 2
        NumThreads: 10
    aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment:
        STAGING: 1
        DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: config.settings.production
    aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles:
        "/static/": "htdocs/static/"
        "/media/": "htdocs/media/"

config/wsgi.py Could be a different path in your project

02_collec_static.config

files:
  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/10_collect_static.sh":
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      set -xe

      source /opt/python/current/env
      source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate
      cd /opt/python/current/app && python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

      echo "Statics collected...!!"

An important thing, you settings/*.py should match with your static path that EBS serves, in my case this is my config.

...
PROJECT_PATH = dirname(dirname(dirname(__file__)))
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'htdocs/media')
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'htdocs/static')
...
